No matter how much pasta you make, you're obligated to eat it in a single sitting.
This is the way.
This is the way I die.Oh well, guess I'm eating pasta this month. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're gonna show up in a youtube video.
A 30 year old presented to the E.R. with a bloated stomach and high fever. He claims to have eaten the same pasta for 30 days. As we know, botulism starts to grow on noodles after three days, which means....
Ackchully Clostridium botulinum is an obligate anaerobe from soil and should never grow in conditions of old pasta. The oxygen alone would kill it.
You're thinking of bacillus cereus, which grows on cooked rice or pasta stored at room temperature.
How to get the correct amount of pasta:
- Get as much as you think is right.
- Wrong.
- Eat it all anyway because pasta is delicious.
Start weighing your pasta. You'll never cook too much again.
Start weighing EVERYTHING. The consistency your dishes reach is crazy good! A weighing scale isn't that expensive
S friend of mine did that with rice some years ago. Instead of cooking like one cup he filled the pot about halfway. Needless to say, that we got free rice that day.
Ah see it wasn't bread that jesus handed out on the mound it was a small batch of pasta
Did pasta exist in Jesus’ time? I don’t think they mention it much in the Bible.
Spaghetti? Do this 👌. A portion is more or less what fits between the thumb and the index. Anything else is excess.
Side note: Only works with average size hands, I can fit more than a pound of dry spaghetti between thumb and index
Finally I've found someone whose hands match my stomach!
I always weigh my pasta. A really large serving of pasta is ~4oz.
Fear not the mass of noodles, nor thine anxiety over the mountains of starch thy must consume, my son.
Tomorrow it will all be pasta tense.
good thing is I can eat pasta 3x as much as I can eat any other food. so to me it's only 200 servings.
So a half batch
Pro tip: weigh your pasta and you'll never make too much again.
Is 5 pounds enough?
You'll find out! And the beauty of weight is it never changes so when you figure out that it's somewhere north of 100g you'll never make too much again.
I learned that as a child from my mum, so it seemed basic knowledge to me. But I guess, Americans don't use scales that much.
Most recipes say 100g per serving (1/5 pound) but it's best to know your individual needs.
Exactly right, and weighing isn't volume dependant, so you can weigh macaroni and spaghetti with the same tool and always get the same mass of pasta. It's just the superior measurement for kitchens.
No problem. Means I'll get fried noodles tomorrow.
How can you have too much pasta?
Hey Euros. Do you guys buy 250g pasta packages or 500g? We pretty much only sell 1 pound packages in the US which is a little less than 500g. I've never seen 8oz pasta in the US even though it'd likely make sense.
500g usually
You don't have to cook the entire box.
Yes you do, @SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world.
Do a #noScrapLeftBehind post on !zerowaste@slrpnk.net !
Italian here. That's not a bug; that's a feature.
The sequel to this meme would be the wizard sitting the other way
"And I ate it all in one serving"
Never happened to me
